NOTES FOR THE SELECTION, DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION OF REINFORCED HOLLOW CLAY MASONRY--Reinforced hollow clay masonry offers the building owner many advantages. These advantages are often overlooked by the structural engineer when selecting a structural system. Yet, reinforced hollow clay masonry has been successfully used for more than 40 years on many projects.

The structural engineer receives limited training in the design and construction of masonry. Many universities and colleges do not offer courses in masonry. Often the structural engineer's first exposure to masonry is when the architect or owner requests it to be used. When this happens, the engineer is faced with a requirement to quickly learn the subject.
